Despite the fact that there is an enormous distance between Mexico and Israel — 7,767 miles — the recent outbreak of violence in the Middle East has already impacted the border between our country and the United States.
Republican politicians of different calibers (but also, take note, the FBI itself) are warning about the possibility, some say the imminence, of terrorists infiltrating the United States through Mexico to harm American civilians.
It is not clear whether it is just political propaganda or a psychosis spreading by the hour, but what is certain is that the cast of border villains is growing. There are no longer only undocumented migrants and cartel gunmen, but now there are terrorists.

The situation at the border is bad. It will get worse.
No queda claro si es solo propaganda polÃtica, o esa psicosis que se contagia la mil por hora, pero lo cierto es que elenco de villanos de la frontera crece. Ya no solo hay migrantes indocumentados y pistoleros de algún cartel, sino ahora terroristas.

A summit that would normally send a reassuring message ... faces total uncertainty thanks to the weakness of the United States. The only person to blame for this is Trump.
[T]his wretched president has trampled on, chewed up and spat out pieces of sovereignty, not only of Mexico, but also of our sister countries in Latin America.
The United States’ demand for drugs destroys Mexico’s everyday life, and those who escape from this destroyed life are again met with the guns of U.S. ICE agents.
